STEP 1

 - Check the outdoor temperatures. 

Subcooling (in cooling mode) is the only recom-

mended method of charging above 55º F ambient 

outdoor temperature.

      

Note:

 For Superheat (In Cooling Mode), refer to 

the Superheat Charging Table

For best results the indoor temperature should be 

kept between 70º F to 80º F.  

Note:

 It is important to return in the spring or 

summer to accurately charge the system in the 
cooling mode when outdoor ambient temperature 
is above 55º F.

STEP 1

 - Use the refrigerant line total length 

and lift measurements from Section 5 and use 
line length adders as shown in Section 5.2 if 
required.

Total Line Length = __________ Ft.

Vertical Change (Lift) = __________ Ft.

Note:

 Use this method when matched with a 

TXV or EEV indoor unit.

NOTE: 

 

For systems using a indoor piston metering device, refer to the Superheat charging method and chart.  

For systems using a TXV or EEV indoor metering device, refer to Subcool charging method and charts.
